Correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that Beacon will only track online purchases on websites that have agreed to work with Facebook.

My biggest concern is iTunes + Beacon. What if the most popular highshcool girl buys a song of "Britney Spears" new album. If this in turn affects other girls to buy songs of Britney's albmun, we will no doubt have to listen to her annoying voice over every public speaker in every shopping center. What a nightmare. I mean TRL already accomplishes this, but Beacon + iTunes would take it to a more extreme level.

I think Beacon is only working with select users/areas because I haven't seen it in action yet.

I live in Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles and there is no accessible WalMart. Well, there is one in Crenshaw 4 miles away, but for safety reasons I don't shop there.

WalMart: 0
Sam: 1
